സങ്കീർത്തനങ്ങൾ 43

1 എന്റെ ദൈവമേ, എനിക്കു ന്യായംപാലിച്ചുതരണമേ, ഭക്തിഹീനരായ ഒരു ജനതയ്ക്കെതിരേ എനിക്കുവേണ്ടി അവിടന്നു വാദിക്കണമേ. വഞ്ചകരും ദുഷ്ടരുമായവരിൽനിന്ന് എന്നെ മോചിപ്പിക്കണമേ.

౧దేవా, నాకు న్యాయం తీర్చు. దైవభక్తిలేని ప్రజలతో నా తరుపున వాదించు.

2 അവിടന്ന് ദൈവമാകുന്നു, എന്റെ ഉറപ്പുള്ളകോട്ട. അവിടന്ന് എന്നെ ഉപേക്ഷിച്ചത് എന്തിന്? ശത്രുവിന്റെ പീഡനം സഹിച്ച് ഞാൻ വിലപിച്ച് ഉഴലേണ്ടിവരുന്നത് എന്തിന്?

౨నా బలానికి ఆధారమైన దేవుడివి నువ్వే. నన్ను ఎందుకు తోసివేశావు? నీవు నాకు దుర్గం వంటి దేవుడివి. శత్రువు నన్ను అణగదొక్కుతూ ఉంటే నేను రోదిస్తూ ఎందుకు తిరగాలి?

3 അവിടത്തെ പ്രകാശവും സത്യവും അയയ്ക്കണമേ, അവ എന്നെ നയിക്കട്ടെ; അവിടത്തെ വിശുദ്ധപർവതത്തിലേക്ക് അവയെന്നെ ആനയിക്കട്ടെ, അങ്ങയുടെ തിരുനിവാസസ്ഥാനത്തേക്കും.

౩నీ వెలుగునూ, నీ సత్యాన్నీ పంపించు. అవి నాకు దారి చూపనీ. అవి నన్ను నీ పరిశుద్ధ పర్వతానికీ, నీ నివాసాలకూ నన్ను తీసుకు వెళ్ళనీ.

4 അപ്പോൾ ഞാൻ ദൈവത്തിന്റെ യാഗപീഠത്തിലേക്ക്, എന്റെ ആനന്ദവും പ്രമോദവുമായിരിക്കുന്ന ദൈവത്തിലേക്കു ഞാൻ ചെല്ലും. ഓ ദൈവമേ, എന്റെ ദൈവമേ, വീണ മീട്ടി ഞാൻ അങ്ങയെ സ്തുതിക്കും.

౪అప్పుడు నేను దేవుని బలిపీఠం దగ్గరకూ, నాకు అత్యధిక సంతోష కారణమైన నా దేవుని దగ్గరకూ వెళ్తాను. సితారా వాయిస్తూ నా దేవుణ్ణి స్తుతిస్తాను.

5 എന്റെ ആത്മാവേ, നീ എന്തിനു വിഷാദിക്കുന്നു? നീ അന്തരംഗത്തിൽ എന്തിന് അസ്വസ്ഥനായിക്കഴിയുന്നു? ദൈവത്തിൽ പ്രത്യാശയർപ്പിക്കുക, എന്റെ രക്ഷകനും എന്റെ ദൈവവുമേ, ഞാൻ ഇനിയും അവിടത്തെ വാഴ്ത്തും.

౫నా ప్రాణమా, నువ్వు ఎందుకు నిరుత్సాహంగా ఉన్నావు? నీలో నువ్వు ఎందుకు ఆందోళన పడుతున్నావు? దేవునిలో నమ్మకం ఉంచు. నా సహాయం, నా దేవుడూ అయిన ఆయన్ని నేను స్తుతిస్తాను.
